28. Lord, you give light to my lamp.My God brightens the darkness around me.
29. With your help I can attack an army.With God’s help I can jump over a wall.
30. The ways of God are without fault.The Lord’s words are pure.He is a shield to those who trust him.
31. Who is God? Only the Lord.Who is the Rock? Only our God.
32. God is my protection.He makes my way free from fault.
33. He makes me like a deer, which does not stumble.He helps me stand on the steep mountains.
34. He trains my hands for battle.So my arms can bend a bronze bow.
35. You protect me with your saving shield.You support me with your right hand.You have stooped to make me great.
36. You give me a wide path on which to walk.My feet have not slipped.
37. I chased my enemies and caught them.I did not quit till they were destroyed.
38. I crushed them so they couldn’t rise up again.They fell beneath my feet.
39. You gave me strength in battle.You made my enemies bow before me.
40. You made my enemies turn back.I destroyed those who hated me.
41. They called for help,but no one came to save them.They called to the Lord,but he did not answer them.
42. I beat my enemies into pieces.They were like dust in the wind.I poured them out like mud in the streets.
43. You saved me when the people attacked me.You made me the leader of nations.People I never knew serve me.
